Operating the program:

Sentinel has a windows help system which is context sensitive and can be
accessed by pressing F1 anywhere, or selecting Help from the menu.


Initially the defaults screen should be set up first (defaults from menu).
Select the port that your modem is on and then enter the charge rates as
required.  The times must be entered in order i.e. time for rate1 must
not be after the time for rate2. If a rate is not required, enter 0.00
as the start time. Press OK when complete.

When Sentinel is running it constantly monitors the selected port for any
Compuserve traffic.  Any traffic is costed using the default rates and
entered into the database.  The database may be viewed by selecting
DataBase from the menu.  The shareware version will only allow on-screen
reporting. See Help system for more information.

The database is Microsoft Access compatible and supports ODBC and SQL.
